MATURE PENETRALIA.~

A sluggish little stream that loiters slow
Between gnarled tree trunks and thick tangled
grass
And giant reeds in deep wet morass
For many league. screened from the fiery glow
OF tropic sunlight here and there a row
Of small red bitterns, sitting patiently
Watch for the passing of their fnny prey,
ALI silent as the waters voiceless flow;
Flash like live opals through the gloom pair
OF bronzed winged doves; and in the inmost
heart
Of this deep wilderness, alone, apart,
With mighty limbs outstretched, and half shut
eyes,
Lord of the painless forest, dreaming lies
The deadly tiger in his darksome Lair

Of Burmah the English government has

in it being neither too heavy nor too

THE MUlTICYClE.
a New wheeled Machine for the TFooe
portntion OF Infantry.

a New Wheeled Machine for the Ifo0o
portation Of Infantry.
People in many London thorouchfares
must have been considerably astonished
Of late by the appearance Of a strange
looking vehicle speeding swiftly along.
propelled by ten riders. who sat all in n
row. like the crew Of an elongated uni
versity rowing-boat- This novelty in
means Of locomotion was on its way to
Aldershot. where, by authority of the
War Office. it will be tested with >
view to its adoption for military opera
tions. 1t is the latest adaptation Of
four-in-hand quadricycle and it is in
tended for the rapid transport Of in
fantry from one point to another.
When fully manned it carries twelve
men. who can take with them. Il
ordered. light baggage cart or am
munition wagon. The advantages OF
mounting men thus in single file instead
Of two or four abreast are. first Of all.
that the machine is more manageable.
and second, that power for it presents
less surface to a strong head wind. one
Of the obstacles most difficult for cyclists
to overcome. The speed that can be
got out of such . machine BY ten or
twelve moderate riders is quite surpris-
ing. Ten miles an hour would be con-
sidercd low average rate, and sixteen
have been easily accomplished. 1t is
said to be affected less than any other
velocipede by any roughness in the
thoroughfares. and it passes over newly
metalled bits Of road with comparative
ease. All the tires are wired on the
Otto principle, 50 that they can not be
greatly damaged by cuts from sharp
stones.
For men mounted thus there is, Of
course, a considerable saving in labor.
and probably other advantages might
be claimed from . military point Of
view. These are. however points that
will be fully tested at Aldershot. Re-
Gently machine manned by ten riders.
who did not take their baggage van
with them. set out for Messrs. Singers
warehouse on HOlbern viaduct 1t one
o'clock, when the currents Of traffic
were running strong in opposite direc-
tions. The whole control and steering
Of the machine is in the hands Of one
man. and he had no apparent difficulty
in managing it. even where the thor
oughfare was most densely crowded.
1t turned easily enough in less space
than hanson would have needed and
threaded its way among numberless
vehicles without mishap. though the
drivers Of cabs and omnibuses neglected
their own business To gaze at the strange
apparition as it sped past them.
The crew in charge OF the multicycle
are all trained volunteers, who will be
able to execute any military evolution
that may be demanded Of them with in
telligence. and altogether the expert
ment is one in which military men take
a lively interest. The latest novelty in
vclocipedes has not as yet been sub
mitted to the agents Of any Continental
power. and will be subjected to its first
practical trial for military purposes at
Aldershot. Daily NeUs.
